Nicole Richie puts a paparazzo in shame by uploading a picture of him doing his work while his child was lying on the floor. The mother of two was traveling from New York to Los Angeles when the paparazzo allegedly dropped his kid in order to take better pictures of her.

The wife of Joel Madden uploaded a picture of the alleged incident to her Instagram account and shared the link to her four million followers on Twitter. "This paparazzi dragged his poor, sweet little girl on my plane from NYC to LA. As he ran her off the plane, he dropped her ON THE FLOOR of LAX as she laid there, crying her eyes out. Just to get his shot. #Heartbreaking #FatherOfTheYear," she captioned the picture.

Many of her followers were upset after seeing the picture. A Twitter follower commented, "That's awful. Poor little one, people these days are horrible." An Instagram user wrote, "Maybe one day he'll realize whats important in life." "Cougar Town" actress Busy Philipps also commented, "That is insane. People have lost their damn minds."

In an interview with Telegraphs earlier this year, Nicole shared how dedicated she was to her family. Nicole said that she and her husband would be with their two children on weekend, so that they have quality time together. "I am not available to anybody but family, and we're at the house all day, cooking and hanging out," she said of her activities on weekend.

"Joel and I both grew up in what other people would call an unstable home. We both come from divorced parents and did a lot of moving around, so it's very important to us to create a stable environment for our kids, or at least try to," she explained. Nicole was adopted by Lionel Richie and Brenda Harvey when she was 9 years old. The couple later got divorced.
